Bike Setup:
Home build by parts:Merida Race light 2000 , SRAM 7.0, Avid bb7, Novatech hubs, SunRims DS2-XC, Front Mythos XC, back: Explorer Protection, Rithchey Raiser sever condition, Specialized Rival seat, spd (a 10 year old model but hard to leave the old gear)
Bottom Line:
I have been over braking my my front wheal on steep slobe over
35-40 km/h (~20-25 miles/h) (I used to fall periodically but all over time I used to have leave the spd just in time to roll the impact out, but not this time ...) I fell on me head, with hands on the bars. The helmet keeped my had as crasy as it was before no aditional brain damage not open melonee sindromas :) and it seams not damaged too ...
One of my freind has nearly the same experience with a light
confuse in the brain but no more damege (the helmet has no damage too ..)
I used practicing Aikido for several years, so it was by reflex to roll out the impact but
the bike has not the same training so the spd locked my feet which produced two teared massel in my legs :)
But the helmet worn its price and even more ...
